Wired: Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny Hands-On

The Samurai Shodown series was one of SNK's biggest successes back in the 1990s, adding medieval weapons to the crowded 2-D fighting genre with a cast of characters rooted in Japanese history and mythology.

The newest game is called Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny (Samurai Spirits Sen in Japan) and it's coming to the Xbox 360 in Japan following a year in the arcades. Instead of using 2-D sprites, this new game makes the leap to 3D.
